Yesterday, I shared my favourite moisturizers with you. Today, I’m going to highlight some of the products that many online naturalistas have raved about. Now, I don’t use these products and I don’t know how well they work, but if you’re a natural newbie and you’re looking for some help in the moisturizer area, these…
Moisturize your situation – Part 1
I’ve been noticing, now that the weather’s been getting colder that many naturals are looking for good moisturizers that will get them through the winter months. I can tell you that my hair has gotten significantly drier in the past month and I’m counting the days until I get my hair braided. As I’ve said before,…
The accidental protective hair ‘do
I had been looking forward all last week to trying a new style. I was going to use the banding technique to stretch out my kinks before I did a two-strand twist style. I know I can’t explain the technique as well as some other folks online, so I’m just going to leave it to…
I have scalp issues. Sniff.
I’ve always had scalp problems. When my hair was relaxed, most of my issues were from washing my hair with shampoos with coconut-based ingredients. I no longer use commercial shampoos, so I’ve alleviated that problem. Unfortunately, this week, my scalp is acting like a fool. Granted, I normally wash it twice a week, but as…

So, I did do a little shopping and picked up some Herbal Essences Body Envy Weightless Volumizing Gel fused with white nectarine and pink coral flower. Sounds nice, but I my expectations were low. On Saturday…
Good film, that Good Hair
This weekend, the Hubby and I rolled down the 401 to the AMC to see Good Hair. I wanted to leave early because of the crowds that would be at the theatre. I mean, the amount of buzz this movie was getting meant that there would be scores of Black people milling about and I…
Side-eye of the week: Allison Samuels and Newsweek
I was just going through my Google reader and saw that Afrobella commented on a Newsweek article titled Zahara Jolie-Pitt and the Politics of Uncombed Hair. The article is causing a bit of an uproar. The author, a senior writer at Newsweek who I assume is a Black woman, is concerned about the condition of…
The Star’s Ashante Infantry talks hair
The ‘good hair’ bandwagon keeps on going! Who would have thought this would be such a big topic? (And who would have thought I’d post three articles before 9:30 am?) Anyhow, read Ashante Infantry’s take on hair in today’s Toronto Star article Good hair starts at the roots. Here’s a clip: I have great hair….
Good Hair opens today in Toronto!
I know many of us have been patiently waiting for Chris Rock’s docu-comedy Good Hair to open in Toronto. Well, it opens today on three screens in the city. (Three screens? Chupse! Hopefully, they’ll extend it when they see the turnout.) Sorry ladies from other parts of Canada — I don’t have any information for…
